Access Sports and Wayman's Lightning League have created a partnership to provide access to the fundamentals of basketball to kids in grades Kindergarten through 6th across the State of Oklahoma.

WAYMAN’S LIGHTNING Youth Basketball League brings the legend of the late Wayman Tisdale to the forefront of youth basketball. In addition to teaching fundamentals, our program is created to build character and sportsmanship in a Christ-like manner through a set of game rules Kindergarten through 2nd grade. These rules allow all the players on the floor to participate instead of one or two players taking over the game. Nobody’s name brings these qualities to bear quicker than Wayman Tisdale. Access Sports is happy to support this program with the Wayman Tisdale Freshman Basketball Player of The Year Award presented each year to the most outstanding NCAA Division One male freshman basketball player, along with three other national college basketball honors, during the College Basketball Awards in Oklahoma City. Access Sports fulfills a portion of their mission through this partnership. Access Sports' programs like Wayman's Lightning League provide disadvantaged youth access to organized sports activities.
